To err is human. Failure is also a part of life, not the end of life. Be happy facing life’s challenges. When you make the effort to be happy and to improve your life, you are actually rewarded along the way.Life is like a game and maybe you can award(奖励) points for every effort that has been a success for you. Try it. Add ten points for every achievement. And when you have reached 50 points, ju st yell, “ Hey, I’ve won!〞 and give yourself a reward. If you happen to have missed your points for whatever reason, tell yourself, “Well, I tried!〞which is better than not trying at all. Don’t let it be said you didn’t try.What is it that you want to make yourself happy? Actually happiness means different things to different people. For example, an athlete will be happy winning his first race. For a new mother happiness would be seeing her baby’s first steps. Happiness for a poor person would mean having a meal just for today. So happiness for you is really something simple that you want for yourself.It really doesn’t have to be big. As a matter of fact you should always have realistic expectations. Make the best out of every given situation. If you expect a certain result from a situation and it does not happen, don’t get despondent. This just means trying harder next time. We all have in us the power to succeed. Don’t let “ give up 〞 be a part of your vocabulary.47.By saying “To err is human〞, the author means that________.A. human beings should try to avoid(防止) making mistakesB. no one is perfect(完美的) and everyone makes mistakesC. mistakes and failures make up our lifD. human beings make mistakes easily48. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. Try to reach 50 points.B. Never stop trying in your life.C. Award yourself for your successD. Don’t be afraid of missing your points.49. The author proves his idea in Paragraph 3 through_________.A. exampesB. numbersC. experimentsD. stories50. The underlined word “ despondent 〞 in the last paragraph means________.A. frightenedB. disappointedC. surprisedD. excitedB篇Weather changes when the temperature and the amount of water in the atmosphere change. We can see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapour in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks intothe ground and feeds streams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers, lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapour. The vapour rises onto the air. Water vapour is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapour rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾) above the water. Water vapour also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapour from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapour. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapour in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿) in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.51. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Water cycle.B. Water vapour.C. How rain forms.D. Water, vapour, rain.52. How many ways of the water returning to the air are discussed in the text?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.53. Whether water vapour can be seen or not depends on _______.A. how much water is evaporatedB. how good your eyes areC. in which way water is evaporatedD. climate or weather54. From the passage we get to know _______.A. there is more water vapour in the air in the tropics than in cold polar regionsB. there is more water vapour in the air in cold polar region than in the tropicsC. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapourD. the amount of water vapour in the air depends on how often it rains26-45BACDB CDABA .

The power of nature李仕才一、阅读理解。

It may help you to know that there is no such thing as a perfect speech. At some point in every speech, every speaker says something that is not understood exactly as he has planned. Fortunately, such moments are usually not obvious to the listeners. Why? Because the listeners do not know what the speaker plans to say. They hear only what the speaker does say. If you lose your place for a moment, wrongly change the order of a couple of sentences, or forget to pause at a certain point, no one will be any the wiser. When such moments occur, don’t worry about them. Just continue as if nothing happened.Even if you do make an obvious mistake during a speech, that doesn’t really matter. If you have ever listened to Martin Luther K ing’s famous speech—＂I Have a Dream＂, you may notice that he stumbles (结巴)over his words twice during the speech. Most likely, however, you don’t remember. Why? Because you were fixing your attention on his message rather than on his way of speech-making.People care a lot about making a mistake in a speech because they regard speech-making as a kind of performance rather than as an act of communication. They feel the listeners are like judges in an ice-skating competition. But, in fact, the listeners are not looking for a perfect performance. They are looking for a well-thought-out speech that expresses the speaker’s ideas clearly and directly. Sometimes a mistake or two can actually increase a speaker’s attractiveness by making him more human.As you wor k on your speech, don’t worry about being perfect. Once you free your mind of this, you will find it much easier to give your speech freely.1.The underlined part in the first paragraph means that no one will .A.be smarter than youB. know what you are talking aboutC.do better than youD. notice your mistakes2.You don’t remember obvious mistakes in a speech because .A. you find the way of speech-making more importantB. you don’t fully understand the speechC. you don’t know what the speaker p lans to sayD. your attention is on the content3.From the last two paragraphs, the author means that .A. giving a speech is like giving a performanceB. the listeners should pay more attention to how a speech is madeC.one or two mistakes in a speech may not be bad。

Since you've been away, has this country changed for the better—or for the worse?If you've just arrived back in the UK after a fortnight's holiday, small changes have probably surprised you—anything from a local greengrocer suddenly being replaced by a mobilephone shop to someone in your street moving house.So how have things changed to people coming back to Britain after seven, ten or even 15 years living abroad? What changes in society can they see that the rest of us have hardly noticed—or now take for granted? To find out, we asked some people who recently returned.Debi: When we left, Cheltenham, my home town, was a town of white,middleclass families—all very conservative(保守的). The town is now home to many eastern Europeans and lots of Australians, who come here mainly to work in hotels and tourism. There are even several shops only for foreigners.Having been an immigrant(移民) myself, I admire people who go overseas to find a job. Maybe if I lived in an inner city where unemployment was high, I'd think differently, but I believe foreign settlers have improved this country because they're more openminded and often work harder than the natives.Christine: As we flew home over Britain, both of us remarked how green everything looked. But the differences between the place we'd left behind and the one we returned to were brought sharply into focus as soon as we landed.To see policemen with guns in the airport for the first time was frightening—in Cyprus, they're very relaxed—and I got pulled over by customs officers just for taking a woolen sweater with s ome metalmade buttons out of my case in the arrivals hall. Everyone seemed to be on guard. Even the airportcarhire firm wanted a credit card rather than cash because they said their vehicles had been used by bank robbers.But anyway, this is still a green, beautiful country. I just wish more people would appreciate what they've got.16．After a short overseas holiday, people tend to ________．A．notice small changesB．expect small changesC．welcome small changesD．exaggerate small changes17．How does Debi look at the foreign settlers?A．Cautiously. B．Positively.C．Sceptically. D．Critically.18．When arriving at the airport in Britain, Christine was shocked by________．A．the relaxed policemen B．the messy arrivals hallC．the tight security D．the bank robbers19．Which might be the best title for the passage?A．Life in Britain. B．Back in Britain.C．Britain in Future. D．Britain in Memory.BCan you imagine living in a house built by recycled waste?Texas home builder Dan Phillips transforms trash into artful treasures,creating beautiful floors with wood pieces, kitchen counters from ivo rycolored bones and roofs out of license plates(牌照)．The fantastic houses which spring from his imagination are made almostentirely of materials which would otherwise have ended up in a garbage area.“People have been doing this for hundreds of thousands of years; using whatever is available to build shelter，” Phillips said，“If you think about carefully what could be used, then building materials are everywhere.”The thirteen homes he has built so far would fit better in an art museum than the residential streets of Huntsville, a conservative town of about 35，000 people.Living in these houses is a bit like living in a roadside attraction.“Almost every day, somebody knocks on the door and says ‘Is there any way that we could see？’”said Edie Wells, an artis t who rents a room in the Bone House.Her home features a stairway made of bones, floors covered in wine corks(软木塞) and beer bottle caps.Wells said visitors are most impressed when they see a bathroom withits walls, floor and ceiling entirely covered with broken mirror pieces.In addition, each house is highly energyefficient with plenty ofinsulation(隔热材料), an ondemand solar hot water heater and a system that can collect and recycle rainwater to clean the toilet and wash clothes.Phillips founded Phoenix Commotion 12 years ago with the aim of creating a new model for sustainable housing.For as little as $10，000 it builds affordable homes for single parents, lowincome families and artists.The company has used hundreds of tons of construction waste by recycling the materials into habitable buildings.Phillips tries to spread his recycledhouse idea by speaking at events across the United States, and by using the Internet to reach out to likeminded individuals.Phillips said, “I'm not going to be saving the world anytime soon.But there needs to be at least some visibility for this model in this century.”20．Which of the following is NOT the advantage of the homes built by Phillips?A．Environmentallyfriendly. B．Energyefficient.C．Convenient.

2019-2020年高考英语一轮复习Unit5Thepowerofnature单元检测卷新人教版选修Ⅰ.阅读理解The new findings hold that less demanding activities, such as listening to classical music, probably won’t bring noticeable benefits to an aging mind.“It seems it is not enough just to get out and do something—it is important to get out and do something that is unfamiliar and mentally challenging, and that provides broad stimulation（刺激）mentally and socially,” said lead researcher Denise Park of the University of Texas at Dallas.The new findings provide much-needed insight into the factors of everyday activities that contribute to cognitive vitality（认知活力） as we age.“We need, as a society, to learn how to maintain a healthy mind, just like we know how to maintain physical health with diet and exercis e,” said Park, “We know so little right now.”“This is an assumption, but what if challenging mental activity slows the rate at which the brain ages? Every year that you save could be an added year of high-quality life and independence.”For their study, Park and colleagues randomly assigned 221 adults, aged 60 to 90, to engage in a particular type of activity for 15 hours a week over the course of three months.Some participants were assigned to learn a new skill—digital photography, quilting, or both—which required active engagement and tapped working memory, long-term memory and other high-level cognitive processes. Other participants were instructed to engage in more familiar activities at home, such as listening to classical music and pleting word puzzles. And, to account for the possible influence of social contact, some participants were assigned to a social group that included social interactions, field trips, and entertainment.At the end of three months, Park and colleagues found that the adults who were productively engaged in learning new skills showed improvements in memory pared to those who engaged in social activities or non-demanding mental activities at home.The three learning groups were pushed very hard to keep learning more and mastering more tasks and skills. Only the groups that were faced with continuous mental challenge improved. “Our participants essentially agreed to be assigned randomly to different lifestyles for three months so that we could pare how different social and learning environments affected the mind,” said Park, “People built relationships and learned new skills—we hope these are gifts that keep on giving, and continue to be a source of engagement and stimulation even after they finished the study.”The researchers will follow up with the participants one year and five years down the road to see if the effects remain over the long term.1.According to Park, which of the following can improve an aging mind?A.Playing cards with neighbors.Bpleting word puzzles alone.C.Enjoying musical performances.D.Learning how to use digital camera.2.From the passage, we can infer that .A.broad stimulation should be applied to studyB.challenging mental activity goes with healthC.aging mind should be given more attentionD.working out may do no good to aging mind3.What do we know about the study?A.Participants are living differently for three months.B.Participants will continue the research for 5 years.C.Participants are divided into two learning groups.D.Participants can choose familiar daily activities.4.Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A.demanding mental challenges keep aging mind sharpB.outdoor activities result in aging cognitive vitalityC.high-quality life calls for new learning skillsD.a new study finds how to keep a healthy mindIf you're finding it tough to land a job, try expanding your job-hunting plan to include the following tactics：Set your target. While you should always keep your options open to promise, you should also be sure to target exactly what you want in a job. A specific job hunt will be more efficient than a haphazard one.Schedule ample interviews. Use every possible method to get interviews—answering ads，using search firms，contacting panies directly，surfing the Web，and networking. Even if a job is not perfect for you，every interview can be approached as a positive experience.Follow up. Even if someone does not hire you，write them a thank-you note for the interview. Then，some weeks later，send another brief letter to explain that you still have not found the perfect position and that you will be available to interview again if the original position you applied for—or any other position—is open. Do this with every position you interview for，and you may just catch a break. Make it your full-time job. You can’t find a job by looking sporadically （时有时无地）. You have to make time for it. If you’re unemployed and looking，devote as much time as you would to a full-t ime job. If you have a job while you’re looking，figure out an organized schedule to maximize your searching time.Network vertically（垂直地）. In the research phase of your job hunt，talk to people who are on a level above you in your desired industry. The y’ll have some insights that people at your own level won’t have，and will be in a good position to hire you or remend you to be hired. Keep your spirits up. Looking for a job is one of the toughest things you will ever have to do.Maintain your confidence，stay persistent，and think positively，and eventuallyyou will get a job that suits you.5. What is the advantage of setting your target?A.It will help you prepare your interview.B.It will keep your options open to promise.C.It makes the interviewers think highly of you.D.It will make your job-seeking more efficient.6.What is the author trying to tell you in the fourth paragraph?A.A thank-you letter may suggest you are polite to the interviewers.B.You may get a chance if you take some measures after failing an interview.C.Taking note is very important when having an interview.D.The interviewer will give you a job after they receive your second letter.7.The underlined word “haphazard” in the second paragraph is closest in meaningto .A.randomB.considerateC.professionalD.scientific8.Who is this article most probably written to?A.A job-hunting adviser.B.A job seeker.C.A job trainer.D.A job interviewer.Ⅱ.语法填空Two weeks before Christmas， two little girls were walking down the street 1. they saw old Harry， who was on his knees pulling weeds from around a tree.

Space World theme park in the southwestern Japanese city of Kitakyushu has had to close their winter attraction after it froze around 5,000 fish into an ice rink(溜冰场)．The park，which is described as a“theme park all about space”，launched their“Frozen Port”exhibition in an attempt to educate people about marine life as they skated over it.The Aquarium of Ice attracted people to visit by promising a worldfirst(possibly for a reason)experience of“skating across the sea”whi le looking down on fish，crabs，and a whale shark.But it seems they_got_a_little_out_of_their_depth.Despite reported popularity since it's opening on 12 November,2016，the park received surprising criticism on social media.It could be put down in part to the caption(说明文字)they used when sharing some pictures：“I am d．..d...drowning，s...s...suffocating.”In response，one commenter said the park was“disrespectful of life”，while another said it was displaying a“surprising lack of morality”．Still others urged the company to go out of business.Asked if the theme park thought the“drowning”caption had any issues，Manager Toshimi Takeda replied，“Another employee wrote it，hoping people would find it funny.But I do feel that not enough caution was taken.I apologize.”According to management，the fish were already dead when they bought them，sourced from markets and were chosen because they were unable to be sold.Space World have decided to close the event and are considering holding an“appropriate religious service”once they have melted the rink—which could take over a week.Manager Toshimi Takeda said they have proposed to“hold a memorial service for the fish who worked hard for us”and then reuse them as fertilizer.1．What's the purpose of “Frozen Port” exhibition?A．To encourage people to skate.B．To educate people about sea life.C．To make skating more enjoyable.D．To look after sea animals.2．What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A．The water is not deep enough for the fish.B．The exhibition is well received on social media.C．People's response is out of their expectation.D．The program is not the first one in the world.3．How did Toshimi Takeda feel about the “drowning” caption?A．He felt sorry for the result.B．He took it as a humor.C．He blamed himself for carelessness.D．He was cautious about it.4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?A．The fish will be set free.B．The theme park will be closed.C．The fish should have been used as fertilizer.D．The fish will be honored in a proper way.【解题导语】日本一家溜冰场因将大约5,000条鱼冻在冰面下而受到公众批评，并因此关闭。
